The Pour: Paris’s New Global Wine Bar Has a ‘Top Chef’ Connection

Blog Post

At
a time when everyone’s a stickler for provenance, the wine atelier O Château has struck a chord with its
wine-and-tapas bar concept on the Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau near Les Halles.
The concept, in addition to regularly scheduled wine tastings, is to offer a
selection of exceptional wines by the glass. The house wine list offers 500
varieties (!) from around the world, with a selection of 40 wines by the glass (!) featured daily. Adding to the charm is the location: this landmark building was
once a hotel particulier belonging to Madame Pompadour. A more recent claim to
fame is that the chef, Tiffany Depardieu, was recently a contestant on Top Chef. An ideal
location and great excuse, as if any were needed, to get to know your Latours
from your Margaux. 68 rue Jean Jacques Rousseau, 1st. tel 33-1/44 73 97 80.
